Poor finish from Welbeck. Why are we so ******* deep in our own half?

Well... this is... unusual. An England team playing long-ball and boring football? Never!

Still think Rodwell needs to decide what his best position is. Versatility is useful, but when playing too many different positions over a season beings to effect your form, time to have a good think about where you'll be best. For me, Rodwell lacks the clinical edge close to goal, or the finishing/shooting to hold down a box-to-box role which is what he seems to be playing today. Gets forward too often, makes the wrong decisions, constantly losing the ball. Far more likely to get a place in the England Seniors in the long-term as a defensive player. Wilshere, Lampard, Gerrard, Henderson, Lansbury, etc. all standing in his way for the other role.

Lansbury was terrific against Norway. Immediately set up a chance here, too.

Does England have playmaker ? No-one in midfield knows how to pass.

We have two, but Pearce in his wisdom picked neither (although he had his hands tied by one, I'll admit).

Maybe Lansbury deserves a go in the middle?
 
god this is aweful no idea no creativity no imagination think i seen this before last summer
 
Only pace and strength.... LOL Muamba on, another destroyer. What's with Cleverly ?
 
And Pearce is the future with these lads, Poor ******* us.
 
This is beginning to grate a little. Why not try this next match:

Fielding
Walker - Smalling - Jones - Bertrand
Lansbury - Rodwell
Albrighton - Sturridge - Sinclair
Welbeck​

Put Rodwell where he is best, in a holding role in front of the defence. Stick Lansbury beside him, see what he can offer in the centre and let him make driving runs from deep. Recreate the Albrighton/Walker axis from Villa this season; two players who know each other and compliment each other very well. Play Sturridge, with his superior creative skills, BEHIND the 'purer' striker Welbeck, and add Scott Sinclair to offer a direct threat cutting in from the left.

Muamba, Rodwell interchangeable, as are Cleverley and Sinclair and Henderson and Albrighton. Could even play Lansbury where Sturridge is and move Henderson back into the double pivot, see if he impresses this time round. Why oh why don't you do it Pearce?

Disappointed with Welbeck, Sturridge's done well. Looked one of the only players capable or changing this match.
